As the title suggests I'm after some new decals for a frame, pls can anyone recommend anyone decent who they may know of or have used before. I know there are a few on here that have changed wheel decals edc in the past. Who did you use?

Thanks

    Thanks a lot. Ill check them out. There for my Look 595. It's currently custom painted but I'm selling the frame and I took off helicopter tape from the stay and it's pulled the paint off. Now thinking of having it re sprayed matt blk and then selling it.

    PM me with what you need/want. I do a lot of carbon repair work and we also paint/re-badge bikes post repair to return to factory condition. If you just need logos then they can be made pretty cheep and fast- likewise for paint.

    Steve, is it possible to soda blast paint off a carbon frame, and then do a clear matt finish?

    Yes, soda blasting is a possability, but may not be the best option. Normally it is most efficent to sand paint off with the correct TLC. The finish you get will be dependant on the finish of the carbon and the colour of the paint though. If there were pin pricks in the surface of the frame (between the weave if not fully de-bulked and compressed during manufacture) then you may get some paint in the voids that you cant remove- looking like the odd spot or so. But in reality you can get an almost perfect finish 99% of the time. And you dont need to be scaired of using sand paper - the race cars we run are sanded back to carbon for every repair and at least every season for re-spray.
